India do hold this record - but not because of their current run of poor form. Between June 1959 and January 1968 they lost 17 successive Tests away from home, a sequence that included whitewashes in England and West Indies (both 5-0, in 1959 and 1961-62), England again (3-0 in 1967) and Australia (4-0 in 1967-68). Next come Bangladesh, who lost their first 16 away Tests, between April 2001 and February 2004. They have now played 36 Tests outside Bangladesh, and lost 32 of them.
